The earliest surviving episode is number 126 from 26 April 1965. That was only found in 2008. Other than that, the earliest surviving episode appears to be number 986, broadcast 5 December 1968. So I guess the latter was previously the earliest surviving episode?

Apparently it was found in an old ATV archive in west London: See www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/earliest-crossroads-episode-found-in-archives-63366

It was released as such on the first Crossroads DVD.

Having looked at TV Brain/Lost Shows and done the math, apparently 26.09.66 - episode 496.

Have looked again on TV Brain and 8.1.85 is now listed as the only Central episode missing. Does anyone know how this came about? I thought they were pretty much all there from 1982 onwards and were shown about 2000-ish on UK Gold?

There are quite a few Crossroads episodes listed as missing on TV Brain but they definitely exist as they are on the Noele Gordon boxset!
All the Central episodes have been repeated twice on UK Gold so I can't believe any of those are now missing - there are certainly plenty of off-air copies - so I'm sure when they get round to adding Crossroads to ITVX or whichever streaming service decides to licence it, it will be complete from July 1978 [Episode 2974] with only Episode 3355 [18.09.1980] and Episode 3535 [17.11.1981] missing.

Don’t worry, Gary. She has been traced and yes, she still has most of her original cassettes. Negotiations are ongoing but, as with most collectors, it’s complicated. The fact that some of her recordings have been shared recently is definitely a good sign, though. With the 60th anniversary approaching, who knows…? Hi Are these all audio recordings or are their any domestic video recordings she has made ?

Since December last year, in addition to several Crossroads-related audio clips from other shows, the Crossroads Appreciation Society (Facebook group) have uploaded 40 complete missing episodes and 2 partial episodes from the Sue Grainger cassette collection. Last month, the Anonymous member who has been posting them pledged to upload the complete archive of Sue's audio episodes - although a week later they said they would be taking a break for a while due to health reasons.
Anyway, these are the Episode numbers of what has been uploaded to date:
1832,1833,1838,1839,1840,1841,1842,1843(extract),1844,1845,1846,1847,1848,1850,1851,2159,2177,2179,2234,2235,2245,2299,2347,2452,2453,2454,2455,2461,2462,2463,2473,2474,2514,2515,2561,2562,2563(extract),2584,2585,2586,2587,2588
Audio quality varies as these were originally recorded between 1972 and 1976 by placing a portable cassette recorder next to the TV. However, with today's technology I'm sure they could be improved, and with A.I. who knows - we could even recreate moving pictures to go with the sound recordings...

I count AI as "modern technology".
